Build Concept Vocabulary Main Idea and Details Paraphrase Context Clues Grammar: Comparative and Superlative Adjectives Spelling: Suffixes –ism, -age, -ure Type Formats Resources The supporting details in a paragraph all contribute to the main idea. The main idea is always a complete sentence, which may or may not be directly stated. When you paraphrase a passage of writing, you put it in your own words. A paraphrase should reflect the author’s ideas and opinions but be easier to read than the original. Paraphrasing is an important skill that students use to study for tests, to gather research for reports, and to retell stories. You can use the context, or words and phrases around an unfamiliar word, to help determine meaning. List any unknown words you find as you read Gold. Create a chart showing the unfamiliar word, helpful context clues, and a definition based on these clues. You can use a dictionary or glossary. Word Context Clues Meaning Different type formats are used to make printed information more clear and easier to read. Boldface is used to draw attention to words and phrases. Titles of selections, headings, and vocabulary words often appear in boldface. Italics are used for titles. Underline is sometimes used to draw attention to words. Type size can be varied to make titles and headings stand out. Bullets are often used to set off a series of steps or main points.
